Kristen Stewart to star in romantic remake of ’1984′

Named Equals, the film will feature Stewart alongside Warm Bodies' Nicholas Hoult in what's described as a slightly updated version of the 1956 film about “love in a world where love really doesn't exist anymore.” Despite popular opinion of Stewart remaining divided at best, the project isn't without credibility. The script is by Nathan Parker, who previously wrote the screenplay for the award-winning sci-fi drama Moon, and it's directed by Drake Doremus, who won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance for the 2011 film Like Crazy. Jennifer Lawrence, who had a supporting role in Like Crazy, has read the script and was considered for the leading role in Equals, but, says Parker, “it became evident in my head that Nick and Kristen would have great chemistry.”
